Subject: [Greendrinks-announce] July Green Drinks: Tomorrow (Thursday)
Message-ID: <AANLkTinpnoQXN6MQr5GbqXDumIEDx8f7QxwDE4HuDTOb@mail.gmail.com>

Hello All,

The Green Drinks group of Ames will be meeting on Thursday, July 8th
at 6:30pm, at Stomping Grounds. That's the unmarked cafe at the corner
of Welch Ave and Hunt Street in Campustown.

Our guest this time is Mae Petrehn. She's a graduate student in ISU's
Sustainable Agriculture program, and will be sharing what she knows
about "holistic management." Holistic management is an approach to
managing land resources with the goal of improving 4 things:
biodiversity, production, financial strength, and quality of life for
those who use it.

Hope to see you this Thursday! We'll meet outside on the patio if the
weather is nice.

Thank you,
Dan Rasmussen and Jeff Hall

I'm sorry for sending out that email re: Gowalla a few days ago. I've
never used the site and did not intend to send an invitation to
everybody in my address book, much less a glowing review of it.
Whoops! Lesson learned. We'll continue to keep this email list
low-volume.  - Dan
